Notes on accommodation
Please note that although all the bedrooms have doors, due to the open plan nature of the flat, access to the the main bedroom is through the smaller of the double bedrooms although there is now a curtain dividing the room from the corridor. The second bedroom also currently has blackout curtains for those who can't sleep in the light! The floor plan is on the photo page. We have fast broadband wi-fi connection, which is included in the rental price. Directly opposite the house there is a children's playground and an outside table tennis table on the street. We also supply a welcome pack with information about the places we've discovered including shops, bars, restaurants and clubs.

Guest comments
'Charlie, when we first entered the apartment we knew instantly that we had made a very good choice we will make unqualified recommendations to friends, thank you'
"We are safely home and enjoyed our stay in Berlin and in your apartment enormously, you are to be congratulated on the creation of a lovely place in which we felt warm (in spite of low external temperature) and entirely at home"
"Your place really suits our style, right down to the correct movies, books, cookbooks, and of course your kitchen - complete with knives that are just fine!"
"Yes we had a brilliant time in Berlin and your apartment was perfect. Such a beautiful home and ideally located. It was just a shame we were hardly in it - There was so much to see and do. We acted on a few of your recommendations for meals etc and they were great."
Owner profile
About the owner
Charlie is a photographer and Eliza is a film producer and they live in London with their three children. Eliza works in Berlin frequently which is the reason they decided to buy an apartment in this friendly, vibrant city. Their two eldest children have now left school and also love to visit whenever they can to take advantage of the cultural life by day and the club life by night and having a flat in Berlin makes them very popular with their friends!
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought the apartment in 2007. Having looked at several others all over the city we were immediately attracted by the combination of space and light, and the fact that many of the period features were still intact. We subsequently renovated the whole flat replacing the small kitchen with an open plan one, removing the false ceilings to reveal the full 3.5m ceiling heights throughout and modernising the bathroom. Having stayed with friends in trendier areas like Mitte and Kreuzberg we decided, like many Berliners, that a good nights sleep was preferable to nightlife on the doorstep and so the quieter area of Wilmersdorf with its excellent u-bahn links offered the perfect balance of calm, value and location.
